If you're like me, you found a certain perfection in some of Tresham's designs. Although both extremely lengthy, you never turn down a chance to play. Well, these two titles have aquired many 10's in the rating game. So, for folks that have rated both a 10, what do they prefer to play?

Some prepatory stats:

Civilization: 77 folks rated this a 10
1830: 44 folks rated this a 10
7 folks rated both a 10 (this is the target group)
an additonal 5 counting ACiv and Western Exp (this is also part of the target group)

minimum sampling to get on this list will be 20% or 5 people of the target group (whichever is greater) rating the title.

Ties will be split based on overall BGG rankings

Since this wasn't as straight forward to put together as I'd hoped, I have not sorted the list by resulting rank. Instead, I've flagged the top 7 finishers and just left in the stats for the rest.

Note that some entries were left on the list when at least one of the 12 folks rated all three a 10 (too few in the target group to limit the results to 5 agreeing).

Even though there are split views (and some extreme split views) regarding Civ .vs. ACiv, I'll be generous here and include ACiv as part of the base as well.

34 folks who rated Civ a 10, rated ACiv a 10
5 folks who rated 1830 a 10, rated ACiv a 10

12 folks rated 1830 and either Civ, ACiv, Civ W. Exp a 10

Nice game but those that think CE is worthy of a 10 don't find Civ & 1830 worthy of a 10
